“Guardian will take as much as you give, then take a bit more. ”

I have been working at Guardian Industries full-time (more than 3 years)

Pros

This is very much a 'man with an opinion' company. You can excel at Guardian by voicing your opinion (as long as it doesn't greatly differ from the company opinion) and making sure you are recognized for those opinions.

Cons

There are very few female managers company wide, it is difficult to move around in the organization, the review process is fairly secretive and does not involve the employee. Compensation does not increase much after you are hired, get what you want up front.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Communicate with the employees, allow salaried employees to participate in career planning, share the review process so the employees know what to improve upon to grow.
